The BSOK Editor is a utility for quickly applying nuBSOK and mfBSOK product codes to multiple package files.
Unzip the distribution somewhere.
Navigate into the created BsokEditorV1.0 sub-folder.
Double click the BsokEditor.exe file to start the application.
From the "Options" menu, select "Show Gender / Age" (if not already ticked).
From the "Options" menu, select "Show Category / Shoe" (if not already ticked).
On the "Mode" menu, ensure "Auto-Backup" is ticked.
From the "File" menu choose "Select Folder ..."
In the "Select Folder" dialog, navigate into a folder that contains files to be BSOK'ed and click the "Select Folder" button.
The application will read all the .package files in the selected sub-folder and display them. Files with a GZPS resource are assumed to be clothing, files with an XMOL resource are assumed to be accessories, while those with neither are marked as "Unknown". To remove unknown entries from the table, from the "options" menu, ensure "Exclude Unknown" is ticked (do this now, as it'll save confusion in future).
As no BSOK info is present in the files, the "Bsok" column is empty. The "Gender", "Age", "Category" and "Shoe" columns can be hidden if not required via the "Show Gender / Age" and "Show Category / Shoe" options on the "Options" menu.
Click on the first row of the table to select it. The editor area is updated to reflect the details in the package.
Changing the "Gender" or "Shoe" drop-down, or any of the "Age" and "Category" check boxes will update the values in the selected row, and also enable the "Save" button.
Click on the second row to select it. As can be seen the first row has a pale pink backgroud to indicate that it has been changed but not yet saved.
Click on the first row to select it again and then right-click, an option appears to "Restore Original Values". Select it and the row will revert to the values from the associated .package file.
With the first row still selected, hold down the Ctrl key and click the second row - both rows are now selected.
(Note: To select a contigious range, click on the first item then shift-click on the last item.)
From the first "BSOK Product" drop-down, select the 'genre' (nuBSOK, mfBSOK Medieval or mfBSOK Fantasy) to use, we'll stick with nuBSOK.
nuBSOK has no 'styles' so the second drop-down is empty. If we'd selected one of the mfBSOK geners this would contain entries such as "Viking", "Barbarian", "Elven" and "Naga".
From the third drop-down, select the 'group' (these are filtered on the gender of the selected rows), choose "Curvy Sizes (female)".
From the fourth drop-down, select the 'shape', choose "Classic Pinup (CPU)".
From the fifth drop-down, select the 'role', choose "Civilian / All".
As we now have a complete BSOK Product, the details are added to the selected rows in the table. By hovering the mouse over the entry in the table, the displayed tooltip is the hex code associated with the product.
Click on the third row to select just it, then hold down the Ctrl key and click on the fourth row to select both.
Reselect "Curvy Sizes (female)" from the third bsok drop-down, and "FitChick" from the fourth.
Repeat for the fifth and sixth, and the seventh and eighth rows.
To save all the changes, click the "Save" button. As "Auto-Backup" (under the "Mode" menu) is ticked, a copy of each package is made with the .bak extension before the changes are applied.
Close the utility, either from the "File" menu's "Exit" option or by the "X" button top right. If you have unsaved changes, the utility will warn you about them before exiting.
Using SimPe open one (or more) of the .package files and confirm that the product code and creator entries in the GZPS resources have been changed.
